The Benefits of Sport-Specific Strength Training

At Georgia Personal Training, our focus is on delivering elite personal training services for clients in the Metro Atlanta area. One of our specialty areas in personal training focuses on sports performance. From baseball and football to lacrosse, basketball, swimming and more, strength is on of the most important sports skills that drive performance.

There are many benefits for signing up for sports-specific strength personal training as an athlete:

Just lifting weights doesn’t build strength ability, so having a personal trainer focuses on how to optimize that strength development.
Strength training helps improve mental perspective, giving you the confidence to elevate your sports performance.
Focusing on building up your strength can help prevent strains, sprains and other types of injuries.
Strength training actually increases your flexibility and speed, enhancing your overall sports performance results.
Contrary to common beliefs, strength training doesn’t bulk up an athlete.
You’ll be able to add strength in specific muscle groups related to your sport thanks to the expertise of personal trainers who have played these sports and understand muscle dynamics.
This type of personal training focuses on building athletes versus biceps.

Our strength and flexibility sports training programs are customized for each athlete, including their specific sport and ability. While some people believe high school students shouldn’t focus on building up their muscles because they fear the misnomer that body building stunts growth in teenagers, the reality is that carefully planned strength training can enhance growth and overall physical performance.
